conflict of interest

An unfair-to-the-customer motivation that money-hungry banks have to maintain someone's having to make payments on a loan for as long as possible.

I borrowed a thousand dollars from a local credit-union so that I could pay some local tradespeople to perform much-needed repairs on my home and vehicle. But then as it turned out, these "over-booked with repair-jobs" folks were not able to get to my repairs as soon as they'd expected, and so I didn't need the loaned money nearly so soon as I'd thought I would; I realized that I'd likely be able to pay the carpenters and mechanics "on my own" just with extra-frugality-saved funds over the next few months. So I merely returned the thousand dollars to the credit union within just two or three months after I'd taken out the loan; the clerk seemed none to pleased, since they'd only made about 22 bucks extra in the deal, instead of maybe close to a hundred if I'd taken a year to pay it all back, the way they had expected me to. Guess there was a little conflict of interest there.

Interested, but not attending

You get invited to that basic Facebook event that Derrick from down the hall sent out. You feel obligated to feign interest in attending the event to impress Derrick's hot friend, but you would rather stay in and watch Netflix. This is a classic Interested, but not attending situation.

Did you get the invite to ATO's Pirate Party next Friday?
Ugh, I'm actually interested, but not attending.

Interesting Insignificance

The state of being simultaneously intriguing and unimportant; a paradoxical blend of captivating quirks and inconsequential qualities that make someone or something stand out, while also not really mattering in the grand scheme of things. Often accompanied by a playful sense of humor and an appreciation for life's absurdities.

Oh, that's just Quintessa being Quintessa. She's full of interesting insignificance - always coming up with quirky ideas and fascinating trivia that make her stand out, but really don't matter in the grand scheme of things.
